Canada0Normal precautions
Exercise normal security precautions

Exercise normal security precautions in Gibraltar. Petty crime and theft from unattended vehicles occur, and people walking at night between La Línea de la Concepción and Gibraltar have been attacked and robbed. Avoid demonstrations, which can turn violent and disrupt transport, and remain vigilant for terrorism. Avoid beaches and coastal areas during severe weather warnings, beware of hazardous marine life and macaques, and drive defensively on narrow roads.
